Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make a spectroscopic color appearing in the vicinity of an upper part of a cutoff line inconspicuous by sufficiently securing the sharpness of the cutoff line when forming a light distribution pattern having the cutoff line by a projector-type vehicle lighting appliance.SOLUTION: In a projection lens 12, a rear-side focus point Fc of a lower region 12C is located at a front side rather than a rear-side focus point Fa of a center region 12A. Since emission light from the lower region 12C is polarized and emitted upwardly with respect to a light incident direction, a spectroscopic phenomenon in a vertical direction occurs, and a short wavelength component is located at an uppermost end of a beam flux of the emission light, however, since the rear-side focus point Fc is located at a front side rather than the rear-side focus point Fa, it is prevented that an orientation of the emission light from the lower region 12C is displaced to a lower side with respect to the emission light from the center region 12A, and the short wavelength component appears in the vicinity of an upper part of the cutoff line as upper dispersed light. On the other hand, the sharpness of the cutoff line can be sufficiently secured by the emission light from the center region 12A.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
